"We have a 6-month-old baby and were absolutely mind-blown to find out that our house wasn't burglarized but instead, our dining table exploded," Erica Glaze said.

“Thank God we were not home,” Erica Glaze said.

The explosion sent glass flying through the room. The bizarre incident was captured by security cameras.

Erica said she thought someone had broken into their Museum District home when her alarm company notified her Friday afternoon about glass breaking.

“I assumed it was a break-in although I couldn’t logically understand how three windows broke all at once,” Erica said.

Thankfully, they weren't home at the time but their 6-month-old baby had been sitting in the toy car next to the table the day before the explosion. (Erica Glaze photos)

Turns out, the power of the explosion triggered the alarm system in three different areas: The living room; laundry room; and upstairs.

“We have a 6-month-old baby and were absolutely mind-blown to find out that our house wasn’t burglarized but instead, our dining table exploded,” Erica said. “The scariest part is that we had just taken the [baby] car out of the box and took pictures of our son walking in it the day before the explosion happened. Had it occurred while he was in it, this would’ve been a totally different and serious situation.”
